I grew up being told that margarine was healthier than butter, and that drinking diet soda was a good way to loose weight. Now I know that the hydrogenated oil in margarine and the aspartame in diet soda are much worse for my body than good old fashioned butter and sugar. Here, Food Renegade has made a list of truly natural sweeteners that are the best way to enjoy something sweet; here, Keeper of the Home has compiled a list of good and bad fats and lets you know why she always eats plenty of butter. Can’t argue with that!
